Methods and Nations : Cultural Governance and the Indigenous Subject, Paperback / softback Book

Methods and Nations : Cultural Governance and the Indigenous Subject Paperback / softback

Part of the Global Horizons series

Paperback / softback

Description

Methods and Nations critiques one of the primary deployments of twentieth-century social science: comparative politics whose major focus has been "nation-building" in the "Third World," often attempting to universalize and render self-evident its own practices.

International relations theorists, unable to resist the "cognitive imperialism" of a state-centric social science, have allowed themselves to become colonized.

Michael Shapiro seeks to bring recognition to forms of political expression-alternative modes of intelligibility for things, people, and spaces-that have existed on the margins of the nationhood practices of states and the complicit nation-sustaining conceits of social science.
